Final Hour

Lyrics by：Lauryn Hill

Composed by：Lauryn Hill

Produced by：Lauryn Hill

Like fungus among us

I treat this like my thesis

Well-written topic broken down into pieces

I introduce then produce words so profuse

It's abuse how I juice up this beat like I'm deuce

Two people both equal like I'm Gemini

Rather Simeon if I jimmy on this lock I could pop it

You can't stop it drop it

Your whole crew microscopic

Like particles while I make international articles

And on the cover

Don't discuss the baby mother business

I been in this third LP you can't tell me I witness

First handed I'm candid you can't stand it

Respect demanded and get flown around the planet

Rock hard like granite or steel

People feel Lauryn Hill from Newark to Israel

And this is real so I keep makin' the street's ballads

While you lookin' for dressin' to go with your tossed salad

You could get the money

You could get the power

But keep your eyes on the final hour

You could get the money

You could get the power

Keep your eyes on the final hour

About to change the focus from the richest to the brokest

I wrote this opus to reverse the hypnosis

Whoever closest to the line gon' win it

You gon' fall tryin' to ball while my team win the pennant

I'm about to be in it for a minute

Then run for Senate

Make a slum lord be the tenant

Give his money to kids to spend it

And then amend it every law that ever prevented

Our survival since our arrival

Documented in the Bible

Like Moses and Aaron

Things gon' change that's apparent

And all the transparent gon' be seen through

Let God redeem you keep your deen true

You can get the green too

Watch out who you cling to

Observe how a queen do

And I remain calm readin' the 73rd Psalm

'Cause with all this goin' on I got the world in my palm

Now you could get the money

You could get the power

Keep your eyes on the final hour

But you can get the money

You can get the power

But keep your eyes on the final hour

Now I be breakin' bread sippin' Manischewitz wine

Pay no mind party like it's 1999

But when it comes down the ground beef like Palestine

Say your rhyme let's see if that get you out your bind

Now I'ma get the mozzarella like a Rockefeller

Still be in the church of Lalibela singing hymns a cappella

Whether posed in Maribella in Couture

Or collectin' residuals from off The Score

I'm makin' sure I'm with the 144

I been here before this ain't a battle this is war

Word to Boonie I make salat like a Sunni

Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community

Had opportunity went from hoodshock to Hood-chic

But it ain't what you cop it's about what you keep

And even if there are leaks you can't capsize this ship

'Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip

You can get the money

You can get the power

Keep your eyes on the final hour

You can get the money

You can get the power

Keep your eyes on the final hour

You can get the money

You can get the power

But keep your eyes on the final hour

You can get the money

You can get the power

But keep your eyes on the final hour

You can get the money

You can get the money

Get the money

Get the get the money

You can get the money

You can get the money you can get the money

The final hour

But keep your eyes keep your eyes

Keep your eyes on the final hour

Now you can get the money

And you can get the power

But just keep your eyes on the final hour

Final hour

Final hour

Final hour

Final hour
